  • Patent number: 11773181
    Abstract: Provided are survivin specific antibodies, nucleic acids encoding the antibodies and methods for treating tumors comprising survivin-expressing cells by administration of the antibodies. The antibody compositions were found to be effective in inhibiting the growth of tumors.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 11, 2020
    Date of Patent: October 3, 2023
    Assignee: Health Research, Inc.
    Inventors: Robert A. Fenstermaker, Michael J. Ciesielski
  • Patent number: 11467152
    Abstract: Provided is a method for evaluating the progression of glioma in an individual comprising monitoring the levels of circulating exosomes that are positive for survivin and a glial marker (such as glial fibrillary acidic protein). An increase in the level of such exosomes is indicative of poor prognosis. Levels of circulating exosomes that are positive for survivin and glial marker can also be used for evaluating the efficacy of a therapy for glioma in an individual, and modifying the therapy or introducing additional therapy if levels of such exosomes are found to be increasing.

  • Patent number: 8580269
    Abstract: Compositions and methods for stimulating an immune response against cells that express survivin are provided. The method is suitable for prophylaxis and/or therapy of autoimmune disorders. The method involves administering to an individual a composition that contains a survivin peptide mimic that has a cysteine to methionine alteration at amino acid position 57 of wild type survivin. Fragments of the peptides can also be used.
